The Stylish, luxurious and robust Sportage turbo diesel platinum wins again with OzRoamer magazine awarding it top marks as its 2013 AWD SUV under AUD60,000 Car Of The Year. The Sportage saw off an impressive field of finalist – Mazda CX5, Hyundai IX35, Mitsubishi Outlander and Ford Kuga – to claim the top spot on the judges’ cards.
As always with every KIA vehicle that comes into Australia the Sportage has undergone extensive localized tuning to ensure the car provides the ride and handling experience Australian owners want and deserve. Along with the pioneering 5 years unlimited kilometre warranty, capped price servicing and road-side assistance proves the purchasing another brand with recognition likes this is futile.
As far as a soft off-roader goes the Sportage is the best by far.
